Work question

[Hobber]

Hi,

Hope all is well with you all. It's been a while since we have been on here. All is going great. Lili came over in December of 2011 and we married. She received her 2 year green card in August of 2012.

When I did all the paper work I didn't send in the docs so Lili could work (we didn't plan on her working for a while).

Now she wants to work? Can she legally work with the 2 year green card or do we need something else?

Thanks,

Matt and Lili

Yes, the green card provides employment authorization. No other document is required to prove her eligibility.

Per form I-9 used by employers, to verify eligible to work, a lawful permanent resident needs to show Green-Card (I-551) Column A item number 2.

Other scenario would be once having the CR green-card to visit SSA office and order a new SSN card with the "Work With DHS auth" Notation removed, then could simply provide an item in column B and C, DL, and the new SSN card without the notation, handy for the period of ROC.

Thank you all
